Not only more acidic than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr of the same vineyard but more complex in the acidity itself and the range of flavors; ripe yellow apple, slightly underripe pear, a little lemon, peach and nectarine, mostly all fresh fruit characteristics and not the same candied aspect of the WS. Very good and with the acidity where it still is could go years longer in the bottle — 15 days ago

Wasn’t expecting something this expressive - white flowers, yellow and green apples, minerality driving through alongside the acidity. Interested in trying more from Forge, this was our first — 2 years ago

As far as I’m aware; my first Corsican wine. Bright and powerful, tart ripe red fruits, low tannin but high minerality. — 2 years ago

Rich and soft, predominantly ripe and candied peach (both natural and peach-o-ring types), was surprised how different it was than the Urziger Wurzgarten of the same vintage. Not as complex as that one but what it has it have it really delivers on. Just a slightly heavier weight and at 7 years may have been even more enjoyable a little younger — 15 days ago

Fruity fun; nice balance with acidity and bubbles, excellent with pasta bolognese — 2 years ago

Hard to believe it’s the same grape that goes toward some of the most boring white wines available. This is wild; pretty peach color from a little skin contact, slight oxidative notes which add to the complexity without tiring the wine out, very lively, intense and fairly long finish, most of the fruit is around apricots. Lovely — 2 years ago

At this price point I don’t think that Napa Cab can touch this quality and appeal. Gives what Cabernet drinkers want and saves you the extra $10-20 you may pay elsewhere — a year ago

What is not to love? Linear but fulfilling on many fronts; lush but not overdone, tannins are refined but provide balance to the all-fruit appeal, oak takes a back seat — a year ago

All fruit but very well balanced, just not a lot of interesting characteristics beyond that but glad we tried it finally — 2 years ago

Underripe pineapple, ripe yellow apple, long finish, but drinking this early, should show better in a few years — 2 years ago
